Let's talk about your needs and find the SureHealth™ plan for you.

Supplemental Dental Plans

Having a dental plan in place can really ease the cost of regular checkups, cleanings, repairs, and extensive dental procedures. When it comes to maintaining your oral health without any financial coverage, you really do put your money where your mouth is!

What your province doesn't cover

Under Canada's government health care system, routine dental care is not covered. Though a few provinces offer prevention programs for children (Quebec and Nova Scotia, for instance), others only pay for medically-essential dental procedures performed in-hospital. Therefore, you're probably not covered for:

Routine dental check-ups

Preventive and restorative dental care

Cavity fillings

Dental implants

Dentures

Inlays, veneers, crowns and bridges

X-rays

Orthodontics

How to fill the gap

You can purchase a supplemental dental plan through a number of private health benefit providers. You'll be especially interested if you:

have no existing employer-based health plan, or

are retiring and losing your group health coverage at work, or

are self-employed, working on contract or freelance.

While supplemental dental plans are ideal for individuals, they are even more important for families with lots of mouths to maintain!

Find the SureHealth™ plan for you.

Plans are provided by Green Shield Canada (GSC).

You are eligible to apply for SureHealth plans as long as you are a Canadian resident, you have valid provincial health insurance plan coverage (Quebec residents must also have RAMQ), and you are under 75 years of age (for ZONE plans), or under 80 years of age (for LINK plans).

*Acceptance is guaranteed upon GSC's receipt of initial premium payment.

†Coverage starts the first of the month following application approval.

This is a summary and does not constitute a contract. Actual terms, conditions, limitations and exclusions are detailed in the contract issued by Green Shield Canada (GSC) upon application approval. Reimbursement will be made for eligible expenses incurred, paid for and received by the covered person, provided such services and supplies are, in the opinion of GSC, medically necessary for the treatment of an illness or injury and reasonable and customary, taking all factors into account.

As applicable, Quebec residents can be covered for up to 100% of the stated maximum for the prescription drug benefit only if the drug is listed on the RAMQ formulary. If the drug is not covered by RAMQ, the standard co-pay applies.

Coverage amounts shown are in Canadian dollars.

Rates and/or benefits are subject to change with thirty (30) days written notice.
